St. Germain - A judge ruled Vilas County can build a snowmobile trail on the right of way on a St. Germain couple's property.Tom and Karen Martens filed a lawsuit last fall to stop the trail from crossing their land. The Martens said the statute allowing for trails on right of ways doesn't apply to their land because it was an easement. They also cited safety concerns. A judge ruled Tuesday the statute does allow for the trail. That means if the Martens don't appeal within 45 days the county can begin construction."By the time we go through the permit process again and renewing the contracts, we're probably looking at some time early this spring. We'll hopefully have the trail in place for the 2013-2014 snowmobile year," says Dale Mayo, Vilas County Recreation Administrator.Tom Martens says they're disappointed in the decision. He and Karen believe if a snowmobile club member lived in their home, the trail would not be considered in that location.
